Paul Vayson

Paul Vayson (born December 4, 1841 in Gordes ( Département Vaucluse ), † December 14, 1911 in Paris ) was a French painter of impressionism and realism .

Life

He first attended the Lyceum in Avignon and then came to Paris to study law. But his inclination to art was stronger: in 1864 he entered the studio of the Swiss painter Charles Gleyre . Even Jules Laurens received him in his studio. Vayson met Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Gustave Courbet personally. Extensive trips that brought him to Italy, Holland and Spain were not without echo in his painterly work. He brought home mainly Spanish motifs. From 1896 (after the death of his brother in this position) until the end of his life he was mayor of Murs (Vaucluse) , where his family owned the local castle.

Artistic creation

Vayson was close to impressionism. The realistic tendency of Gustave Courbet's painting attracted him more than the romantic tendencies of his teacher Gleyre, who preferred religious, mythological and historical subjects. He preferred plein-air painting. His favorite subjects were rural scenes from Provence. According to the Allgemeine Künstler-Lexikon (published by Hans Wolfgang Singer , 4th vol., 1921, p. 487) he was "a respected animal painter, especially his cattle and hammers were well received".
